[SPAM] DD probs again

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

The blue wire attaches to a field coil with in the alternator. Once the lt 
spins, it allows an alternating field to be generated and create a current 
flow. There is NO magnet in an ALT.
Now a generator like they had in the old bugs was a large permanent magnet 
the when a coil spun with in created a current and produced DC. (Edison 
LOVED DC, Not Volta)

The bluw wire comes from a loop via the dash display frm the switched 12v. 
Thats why you cannot run a MKI or MKII with out the display. No disp, no 
loop, no stimulus to the exciter.
Good luck!
